Selling kplc last week at 16 and kengen at 10.20 and a week later they are looking north.... and worse still putting some of it in uchumi

and may be you had waited for a long timeSad

boarded kplc around Jan at 15. had totally forgotten that they release results this season... kengen last year pre books close. fighting the urge not to re-enter kengen

Hope I won't have to swallow the humble pie of re-entering kengen at a higher price after offloading at 12.20 today. ION thinking of loading cables and exit 20+

And how do you arrive at the target price of 20+ for cable? .... Just helping you to avoid making another mistake

I am no chartist. have a fair value of 18.00 but the way things are happening in this market it should at least touch 20.00 before may

Elaborate. How do you arrive at number 18.00 and 20.00. Through fundamental analysis?

1. after reporting a profit warning it dipped to 15.50 which might be its base. since it has been hovering around this level then its at its bottom.
2. the lull in the share price may be a sign of a looming break away that I anticipate before books close.
as I said , nothing technical.... but only time will tell.

Sorry Boris , the gist of what i said is that because i dont have a lot of disposable income i was unable to buy large lots . I had the ideas right got in at good times, some of my weighted averages are ridiculously low example Safaricom where i entered at 4 shillings and 20 cents average but im holding a meagre 12000 units wheras someone i advised is holding 100,000 plus units bought at a similar price , my fault lean pockets
